Effects

N Stuff Music is a guitar pedal shop where players can explore new sounds without complicating the shopping experience. Whether you want warm overdrive, bold distortion, spacious delay, or something totally unexpected, our selection of guitar effect pedals helps you shape a tone that’s entirely yours.

There are several types of effect pedals categories that we should define to get you started on your search:

• Boost: A boost will add the least amount of actual “drive” to a signal and is typically meant to boost a guitar’s signal in a volume sense but can often aid in pushing a good tube amp into the realm of natural overdrive.
• Overdrive: An overdrive is a notch above the boost. Overdrives do have some elements of the boost in terms of being able to boost a signal and push an amp, but they will add more drive to the signal and will color the tone a little more than a boost will.
• Distortion: Distortion is meant to be gain added to a signal giving it anything from that classic rock crunch to screaming heavy leads. Distortion will take a totally clean signal from a guitar amp and turn it into distorted, crunch mayhem.
• Time-based effects: Time-based effects include three of the absolute most common effects, delay, reverb, and echo. Delay and echo are basically the same, but clearly stated echo is basically a subset of delay effects. Delay can range through many types of delays and one of them would be an echo. Echo pedals produce just the echo-based delay effect. Delay ranges from short and rapid delays to elongated and spacious delays; sometimes delay is combined with modulation in a pedal to create a unique and ethereal sound.
• Modulation: Modulation effects are based around slightly altering or adding a character to the pitch that is coming through the pedal. The most common of modulation pedals are chorus, flanger, and phaser. Each one of these adds a different coloration and alteration to the pitch of the signal coming through the pedal.

At our guitar pedal shop, you can count on us to provide a wide variety of guitar effects. In addition to name-brand pedals, we have boutique lines of pedals that represent what you will not see at a corporate store. Dial in the details that make a riff, solo, or rhythm part stand out. From subtle texture to full-on signal-chain experimentation, our effect pedals give you room to build a setup that continuously inspires you.
